My girlfriends Paypal account got used somehow, last thursday. They performed 2 transactions. One for $25 and another for $200. It shows that they purchased gift certificates for Ebay. And it shows the persons email address as being:

harlyger@yahoo.com

That is all the info I have. Any one with cool computer hacker skills here able to use that email address and find out any more info? If so, please share anything you can with me. We've already contacted the Bank and they are going to start an investigation which will take 30 - 90 days. She is calling Paypal right now as well. But any more info we can find, the better!!

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Shitty situation. Not long ago my bank account was hacked, and I had over 1,046 dollars in transactions that where not mine, and being a jobless broke ass, living check to check, that all was in the negative. Took the bank a few weeks, and time to make a bunch of phone calls, and paperwork to fill out, but i got it resolved. Still waiting on them to catch the fucker that did it though.

I'd be surprised if that site actually gives you any usable information even after you enter your credit card number. I suppose it's worth a try though.

This usually happens when someone uses the same password for regular websites that they use for a financial site. It's relatively easy to hack a web forum, for example, and then hit a bunch of financial sites to see if the passwords match.

Yeah, use different passwords for stuff, and make sure they're secure ones. Even one number goes a long way. If you must reuse passwords (due to memory or whatever) be very careful not to get caught by phishing sites, they'll be able to completely screw you over. Still, using only one password that's fairly secure is so much better than using more than one and having to write them all down.

Remember, dsmlol isn't even half as secure as dsm101. Simple math tells you for a 6 digit password, changing 3 letters to 3 numbers means they'd have to go through 511110080 more permutations to brute force it. ;)
